Elena Zanzu

I am interested in extreme practices and practical and theoretical research around gender, ethics, care, and methodologies of research. In recent years I have been part of the research project Circus Dialogues (continued) at Kask University in Belgium. I teach circus and gender at the UAB. I am a curator in several events, especially around gender and dramaturgy. I write. My solo EZ, premiered at Mercat de les Flors in May 2022, and awarded by the European platform Circusnext, addresses power dynamics and consent negotiation. I am currently immersing myself in a new research project tentatively called Hyp_NO Project.

Residency Project

Hyp_NO Project is a research around techniques of trance generation, manipulation of perception, illusion and extreme practices of (psycho)somatic manipulation. Putting care and dialogue at the centre, this research explores perception as a generator of physical, emotional and mental movement. What needs to happen to generate movement?
